Deion Sanders reacts to SNL skit, best impressions

Earlier in October, Saturday Night Live’s Keenan Thompson did an impressive impression of Colorado Buffaloes head coach, Deion Sanders. It has been some time since the skit aired, which has given the Buffaloes headman an opportunity to see the late-night imitation of himself. But how did Sanders feel about Thompson’s representation of him? On Tuesday, the Buffaloes head coach shared his thoughts on the impression and revealed Who he believes does the best impression of him.

“I’m a fan of Keenan. Let’s get that straight,” said Sanders. “I love him; I love what he’s brought to comedy. I had the pleasure and the honor to host Saturday Night Live before, and I will never forget those moments. But it was good. But the person that has me down the most is Lou Young. I hate to admit it, but Lou is good. Shilo is all right.”

Sanders on sign-stealing: ‘You’ve still got to stop it’

Sanders also weighed in on the topic of sign-stealing; the biggest topic in college football to date. It became a major talking point over the last week in light of allegations against Michigan, but Sanders took a unique perspective.

When opposing teams are signaling plays, it’s customary to try and pick up what they’re trying to say. It’s part of the gamesmanship of trying to gain an advantage. Sanders noted that in his argument.

But Coach Prime took a different angle. Players and coaches could know every sign in an opposing team’s playbook, yet they could still lose because it doesn’t come down to just knowing what’s coming. They still have to make the play.

“I mean, everyone’s trying to get an edge,” Sanders said during his Tuesday press conference. “Everyone’s trying to get whatever edge they can. You can have someone’s whole game plan, they could mail it to you. You’ve still got to stop it.”

A two-sport sensation in his heyday in the NFL and MLB, Deion Sanders said there’s a difference between the two when players know what’s coming. In baseball, being able to prepare for a breaking ball means it’s easier to make contact and get on base. It’s just bat to ball.
